Former Mayo and Bohemians star Sarah Rowe dials in from Australia, where she's once again swapped the AFLW for the round ball.

And James Tracy talks rugby.

But this morning's Breakfast Bite takes us to the leaf through the morning papers where Ger and Arthur discussed the return to the Limerick hurling panel of Shane Dowling, and his capacity to replace the injured Nickie Quaid in goal.

Sarsfields completed a Galway-dominated weekend at Croke Park with victory over Truagh-Clonlara in the final of the AIB All Ireland Senior Club Camogie Championship.

After the game, Aisling O'Reilly caught up with player of the match Niamh McGrath, who became a mother just earlier this year.

She also spoke with her sister Siobhan, and their father Michael 'Hopper' McGrath - who also happens to be their manager.

Na Fianna have become just the second Dublin club to advance to an All Ireland Club Hurling final courtesy of a late rally that saw them beat Loughrea 0-17 to 0-16.

Off The Ball's Jonathan Higgins was there for all of today's action, and afterwards he spoke with Na Fianna (and soon to be Dublin) manager Niall Ó Ceallacháin, their man of the match Colin Currie who scored 0-10 today, and finally the man who scored the winning point - AJ Murphy.

Kilkerrin-Clonberne were crowned AIB All-Ireland Women's Club football champions for the fourth year in a row today with a 0-13 to 0-9 victory over Kilmacud Crokes at Croke Park.

Off The Ball's Jonathan Higgins was there as the Galway club made history.

First he caught up with co-captains Sarah Gormally and Louise Ward. Then it was the turn of manager Willie Ward. And finally, Jonathan speaks to the Divilly sisters Siobhan and Olivia.
